This is a total experiment in the application of chiaroscuro techniques, which involves strong single source directional lighting and, at least in this case, no secondary lighting source.

This is at the end of the first wet on wet process and is logged in at a little over four hours. In response to a comment wishing me to show earlier stages, it was too late in this case, as this painting was put aside several days ago in order for the paint to dry and begin the glazing process, but next project I'll begin documenting earlier.
